y Application filed .Tune 1U,

'lhe invention relates to liquid dispensers of a tylie 'tor use in connection with barrels and analogous liquid containers, and the principal object oil" the invention is to provide an exceptionally simple and inexpensive, yet an eilicicnt and reliable device ot this nature which may readily be attached to or detached lroin a' barrel or `the like and operated while said ha 1rel' or other container' .is resting on a licor, it being unnecessary with this invention to elevate the barrel or reservoir and permit discharge of the liquid by gravity, as a suction pump is provided tor creating a partial vacuum in a dispensing container, thus inducing the liquid to [low into such container Ytroni the barrel or other reservoir.

`With the Atoregoing in view, the invention resides in the novel subject matter herein a'liter described and claimed, the description being supplemented by the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 is a perspective View showing the invention attached to a barrel.

Figure 2 is a top plan view.

Figures 3, 41.-, and 5 are sectional views as indicated by the correspondingly numbered lines of Fig. 2.

The numeral 6 on the drawings above briefly described, designates a horizontally elongated body of wood or metal, said body in the present disclosure, having a downwardly projecting, :dat-bottomed boss 7 at one end to rest upon the head 8 of a barrel 9 or analogous reservoir. This body `6 has a port 10-which at one end, opens through the outer end of said body, while the other end of said port is in communication with a liquid discharge tube 11 which is intended to extend through an opening 12 in the head S and reach to a point near the bottoni 01:' a reservoir 9. A threaded connection 13, embodying a suitable gasket 111, is preferably provided between the body 6 and the tube 11, and this tube is preferably though not necessarily formed Yfrom glass.

A dispensing container 15 is supported by the outer end oli-the body 6 ,tor disposition at the exterior of the reservoir 9, and a hollow valve member 16 which passes vertically through the body 6, is provided for placing` the interior of said containcrin communication either with the inner or the outer portion of the port 10. When this valve memw ber is set as in Fig. 8, liquid may flow from the reservoir 9 into the dispensing container 1926. Serial No. 115,037.

under the influence or' a partial vacuum ted in the latter, in a manner hereinafter .,ibecl. At tl is time, a discharge valve 17 :it the lower end oli the container 15 is ol course closed. l'lilhen the valve member 16 is turned to such a position as to place the container 15 in con'nnunication with the atmosphere, through `the outer end o1 the port 10., discharge ot the liquid from the container 15 is permitted lwhen the valve 17 is opened. `ln order that any desired quantity ot liquid may be drawn into and then discharged ;trom the container 15, the latter is preferably graduated as shown in Fig. 1 and is 'lorrned of glass so that the liquid level may be readily viewed when it reaches any desired graduation. A separate cap 18 torifned ot metal, preferably provided for the container 'lli and this cap may be threadv ed to the cmitainer and secured to the lower sident the body 6 in any desired manner. .llt its lower end, the container is preferably tied to the reservoir 9 by an appropriate bracket 19 having a portion 2O which, by a bolt 21, is clamped around a couplingI 22 used for connecting the container with the discharge valve 17. The bracket 19 may be temporarily secured to the reservoir by screws or nails 23.

At one side of the body 6. l dispose a suction pump cylinder 24. The cylinder shown ha. its opposite ends provided with caps 25 and 26 respectively, the cap 25 being preferably permanent with regard to the cylinder whereas the cap 26 is detachably threaded ou said cylinder. `The cap 25 is provided. with a laterally extending attaching plateA 27 which is disposed at a vertical plane and is secured by screws or the like 28 against the inner end o1 the body 6. said plate 27 having a horizontal. attaching flange 29 which is adapted to be anchored by screws or other fasteners 30. to the head 8.

The end oi the cylinder 24., adjacent the cap 26 may be secured to the body 6, by a strap `31 and fasteners 32, the latter also securing the cap 18 to said body.

By the construction and arrangement above described, simple and inexpensive provision is made not only for mounting the pump cylinder upon the body 6, but for attaching this body to the head of a reservoir.

The'inner end ot the cylinder 24 is connected by a# suction line 34 with the interior of the dispensing container 15, one terminal 'ot this line being preferably connected with Vport 10.

the cap 18. The other end of the suction line isby preference provided with an arched portion which permits a valve casing 36 to be disposed vertically', said' easing containing a check 37 which prevents backfiowof air through the line 321. A suitable pistonriS isloczited in the cylinder 24- and provided with a piston rod 39 extending through the outer end of .said cylinder and provided with a handle l0. The construction of this piston is such thatwhen it is pulled outwardly, air isdfrnwn from the container 15 through the suction line 25-:1nd the check valve and into. the pump cylinder, the

valve 17 being' then closed and the valve '16V in` conni'iunication with the inner end ot the Upon each inward stroke ot the piston however the check 37 closes and, the zii-r which hasbeen drawn. intoy the cylinder 24, dischaaiges past the piston. Thus, by reciprocation of this piston, sufiicient suction may be created in the dispensing container l5, to; cause the travel of liquid from the reservoir 9 through, the 'tube 11', passage 10 and valve 16,/ into said container. VAs soon the liquid level rises to the desired er@ lentin the container 15, the position ot the valve 16 is reversed, thus cutting oil' the in-tlow ot liquid and opening the upper end of the container 1,25 tothevatinosphere, sothat air may enter said container and permit the I disclmrgev of the liquid when the valve 17 is y variations may be made.
